My parents moved from Mexico to South Texas in the early 90s with the hope for a brighter future for their family of nine---my parents, four boys and three girls. My parents have always wanted the best for us and they have done everything possible to encourage us to get a university degree. Never did they think that by pushing us that direction, it also meant encouraging us to move away and be distant from each other.

Initially(起初), getting accustomed to the American culture and lifestyle was very difficult for my parents. They come from a culture where kids grow up together, go to school together and most of the time live in the same neighborhood. From our point, American family values were a bit different. Typically in the US, when you turn 18, you are expected to graduate from high school, move out, find a university, possibly find a partner, get married and start a life together. Most of these decisions take you away from home; usually you have to follow opportunity and wherever that will take you.

This is my family’s current situation. I graduated from Bethel College in Indiana in 2010, and in order to fulfill my financial responsibilities of paying off student loans, I moved to Washington State for my job with Experience Mission. Ideally my parents wanted me to come home to South Texas, but that wasn’t where my opportunity took me.

Currently, my sister Jennifer lives in Waco, Texas, about eight hours from my parents. My two younger brothers also decided to go to college at Bethel and are away from my parents. More than likely, when they graduate, they will probably not move back home to South Texas.

My parent never imagined that their dream for a better future would separate our family this way.

Facebook has played a crucial(决定性的) role in the way we communicate while living in different places. Since we all use Facebook, we have found a place to connect and feel as if we were there together with each other.

1.We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.

A. the writer’s family are immigrants to America

B. the writer’ family came to America for a better future

C. the writer’ parents’ didn’t want their children to get a university degree

2. The writer’s parents found it hard to be used to American life because ________.

A. they were strangers in America

B. they suffered from a culture shock

C. the local people disliked their family

D. different countries have different lives

3.The writer didn’t return to work in South Texas after graduation because ________.

A. he owed a lot of money while studying at college

B. he didn’t graduate from university

C. he found his opportunity in Washiongton State

D. his father couldn’t find him a job in South Texas

4.What will probably be talked about in the paragraph after the last?

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard(警惕).

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?

A. He was silent most of the time.　　 B. He was too proud of himself.

C. He did not love his children.　　 D. He expected too much of her.

2.When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel __________.

A. nervous　　 B. sorry

C. tired　　 D. safe

3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A. More critical.　　 B. More talkative.

C. Gentle and friendly.　　 D. Strict and hard-working.

4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to __________.

A. the author’s son　　 B. the author’s father

C. the friend of the author’s father　　 D. the café owner
